Method of transferring data being stored in a database

ABSTRACT

A method of sending data stored in a database from a sender to a recipient, which are mobile phone users, in relationship with a manager that defines a managing software application, wherein database and the manager are in connection with a website, involves entering into a connection between the sender and the manager. The sender enters into the connection with the manager and provides sender identification to the manager. Further, the method involves transferring an identifier to the manager, wherein the sender transfers the identifier that comprises at least a recipient&#39;s mobile phone number. Further, the method involves associating an e-mail address or a URL address with the identifier by the manager.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention is related to telecommunications andcompany-wide communication. More particularly, the present invention isrelated to a new method of transferring data by using a mobiletelephone. Actually the present invention is related to a method ofsending data from a sender to a recipient and to a method of retrievingdata, belonging to an owner by a recipient, the data being any kind ofdigital information stored on a database.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Nowadays the convergence between mobile telephone systems andInternet is a growing trend.

[0005] The so called ‘Web based communication centers’ are websitesoffering a series of services that can be accessed by the Web and/or bythe mobile phone: for example e-mail, storage and sharing of data, linkstowards other sites, synchronization between the information containedin the site and those on the hard disk. These websites manage on the Netboth the information necessary for the owner's activities, and the datato be shared with others. This kind of cohabitation makes theconsultation of information difficult since it requires the creation ofuser groups and various levels of securitized access. The wirelessaccess capabilities are restricted to web-enabled (WAP) phones, whichallow the checking of the e-mail account, and the sending of e-mails.Normal mobile phones cannot be used in such a scheme. The sending ofe-mail from the mobile requires the awkward operation of entering ane-mail address on the WAP-phone.

[0006] Another type of existing application is a ‘Mailbox manager’. Thisis a service wherein an electronic mailbox is provided to the customer,said mailbox being shared between the customer's PC and mobile phone. Ane-mail account is created which can be accessed from any mobile phone.SMS messages (Short Message Service) can be sent between mobile phones.

[0007] A general drawback of the existing services is the fact thatnormal mobile phones cannot be used to send large data. Such transfer islimited to short messages.

[0008] Document WO-A-9966746 is related to a method and a wirelesstelecommunications system allowing the sending of multimedia messagesthrough one service center from a sender to a recipient. The document isspecifically related to wireless data transmission of several types ofdata, such as text, speech, images, video or combinations thereof. Thismethod is however reserved for third generation mobile communicationsystems, such as UMTS and IMT-2000, which support the transmission ofvideo images for example. Normal networks supporting only the sending ofspeech and short messages are not compatible with this method.

[0009] Document WO-A-9965256 describes a system for deliveringelectronic messages to digital mobile phones, comprising subsystems forretrieving electronic messages from an e-mail server and for summarizingsaid messages into a form suitable for presentation on a mobile phone.The system does not allow the sending of files, irrespective of theirtype and size.

[0010] The present invention aims to use the convergence between mobiletelephone systems and the Internet to transfer data, with the use of anykind of mobile phone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0037] The method of the present invention preferably exists in the formof a service, which is offered to the public via the Internet. Accordingto a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention, personssubscribing to said service are allowed the possibility to register anumber of data in a database, in connection with the web/portal site oftheir mobile operator. Any type of electronic file may be sent with themethod of the invention: wordprocessor data, spreadsheets, images,sound, etc. According to another embodiment, the service may be offeredby anyone, not just by a mobile phone operator. In this case, thedatabase will be associated to a web site, not necessarily the sender'sportal web site. In the following, the preferred embodiment is describedwherein the service is provided by mobile phone operators.

[0038] Subscribing to the service, they can choose one or both of twovariants of the method of the invention, which will after this be called‘sending of data’ and ‘retrieval of data’.

[0039] sending: This allows the subscriber to use his mobile phone orany other mobile phone or a fixed phone in order to send data to anyuser of a mobile phone. By phoning the service, the subscriber can senda selection of these data to the recipient.

[0040] retrieval: this allows anyone to access—by way of his mobilephone—a predefined amount of information owned by the subscriber.

[0041] The method is devised in such a way that the person receiving theinformation does not have to be a subscriber to the service, nor musthis or her mobile operator provide the service. The method makes surethat any mobile phone user can receive the selected information.

[0042] Both variants will be explained in more detail in the following.FIGS. 1 to 5 describe different modes of operation of the method ofsending of data. The ‘service’ as such is shown in all these diagrams asa central block 21, comprising a central database 22 and an independentwebsite 16. The database 22 stores the e-mail addresses and mobile phonenumbers of all subscribers, independently of their mobile operator.

[0043] Blocks 10, 20 and 30 represent web/portal sites of three mobileoperators. The first and second (10,20) provide the service that allowsthe use of the method of the invention. The last portal 30 doesn't. Thisdistinction is indicated by the presence of a managing application 12and database 14 in connection with the first two portals.

[0044] The heart of the invention lies in the managing application, or‘manager’ 12, which is a software application allowing the encoding,management and distribution of the data. The database 14 contains allinformation pertinent to all subscribers affiliated to that particularmobile operator: mobile phone number, e-mail address, and the data theywant to send.

[0045] Sending of Data

[0046] 1. Subscribing

[0047] A person who wishes to subscribe to this variant of the methodwill log on to the web/portal site of his mobile operator. If he wantsto be able to use the service to send data (files), his mobile operatormust provide the service, in other words, his mobile operator's portalmust contain a manager 12 and database 14. If this is the case, he canselect a GUI (Graphical User Interface) on his operator's web/portalsite. In the GUI, the subscriber is asked to enter his e-mail addressand mobile phone number. He will have the opportunity to store a numberof data onto the database 14. If he owns a normal mobile phone, he isallowed a maximum of ten data. If he owns a WAP phone, he may choose avirtually limitless number of data.

[0048] 2. Sending Data

[0049] In all diagrams 1 to 5, the sender starts by calling the serviceat a number which is common to all subscribers to the service who areaffiliated to the same mobile operator. The sender is identified by themanager 12 of his operator, simply by his own mobile phone number. If hecalls from another mobile phone or from a fixed phone, he is asked toenter a security code. The sender then transmits an identifier 2 whichis routed to the manager 12 of his own mobile operator's portal 10. Theidentifier 2 comprises the recipient's phone number and possibly a coderelating to a selection of the data the sender wishes to transmit.

[0050] The manager 12 will then check whether or not the recipient isregistered in the central database 22. Depending on this, differentmodes of operation are possible.

[0051] Case 1: The Recipient is Registered in the Database 22 and Hasthe Same Mobile Operator as the Sender: FIG. 1

[0052] This means that the recipient's e-mail address is also stored inthe local database 14. In this case, the manager 12 recognizes therecipient, finds his or her e-mail address in the database 14 and sendsan e-mail 3 with the selected data attached to the recipient's PC 18.

[0053] Case 2: the Recipient is Registered in the Database 22 and Has aDifferent Mobile Operator Than the Sender: FIG. 2

[0054] After failing to find the recipient in the database 14, themanager consults the central database 22, which lists all subscribersaffiliated to the service of each operator. In the case of FIG. 2, therecipient has the mobile operator with portal 20. The web site 16 thenroutes the e-mail 3 with the selected data attached towards therecipient's PC 18.

[0055] Case 3: The Recipient is not Registered in the Database 22 andHas the Same Mobile Operator Than the Sender: FIG. 3

[0056] The manager now fails to find the recipient's e-mail address inthe central database 22. Therefore, the manager 12 places the contentsof the selected data on a Web page 15 and assigns a URL (UniformResource Locator or Web address page) to it, said URL beingparameterized with the mobile telephone number of the recipient, meaningthat the recipient's mobile phone number is comprised in said URL. Sinceboth sender and recipient have the same mobile operator, the secondlevel domain name of the URL is defined by the operator.

[0057] To inform the recipient of this URL, the manager sends an SMSmessage 4 to the recipient's mobile phone 5, mentioning the sender'sname and the URL address and possibly a login password, allowing therecipient to download the selected data 6 to his PC 18. The fact thatthe URL comprises the recipient's telephone number is a mnemonic aid forthe recipient, facilitating his access to the selected data on theInternet.

[0058] Case 4: The Recipient is not Registered in the Database 22 andHas a Different Mobile Operator Than the Sender, but his Mobile OperatorDoes Provide the Service: FIG. 4

[0059] Again, the recipient's e-mail address is not found in thedatabases 14 and 22. The recipient's web/portal site 20 does howeverprovide the service. The independent web site 16 now routes the links 7of the selected data to a web page 17, with a URL parameterized with therecipient's mobile phone number. Said URL's second level domain name isdefined by the recipient's operator 20. An SMS message 4 is once againsent to the recipient's mobile phone 5, informing him of the URL of webpage 17, containing said links, so that he is capable of downloading theselected data 6 to his PC 18.

[0060] Case 5: The Recipient is not Registered in Database 22 and Has aDifferent Mobile Operator Than the Sender, Which Does not Provide theService: FIG. 5

[0061] The independent web site 16 now creates the URL 19, which isparameterized with the recipient's mobile phone number, in the name ofthe independent site itself. The manager sends an SMS 4, containing saidURL, so that the recipient may retrieve the selected data 6 to his PC18.

[0062] If no code was added to the recipient's phone number in theidentifier 2, a predefined e-mail is sent to the recipient withoutattachments, for example comprising the sender's personal info (case 1or 2). If the recipient's e-mail address is not listed in the centraldatabase 22 (cases 3,4,5), the contents of the predefined e-mail areincluded on the web page (15, 17 or 19).

[0063] 3. Example of Data Transmitted

[0064] As an example, a procedure is provided hereafter which might beused for sending data in case 3 described above, in which the recipientis not a subscriber to the service, but has a mobile operator whoprovides the service. The method pertains to the use by the sender of anordinary mobile phone. Only the encoding sequence is pertinent, theencoding dialog will be determined by the technology being used(Interactive vocal responder, SIM tool kit, WAP server, . . . ):

[0065] The sender calls the service (ifpossible via a Short Code).

[0066] His call allows him to be identified by way of his mobiletelephone number; if that is not the case, the voice server or a messageasks him to insert his security code followed by two squares.

[0067] He enters the identifier 2: +32476233805*23##. The first part ofthis identifier is the recipient's mobile phone number. Then the senderenters a code relating to a selection of the data to be transmitted: hetaps the ‘*’ key, followed by numbers 2 and 3, indicating that he wishesthe recipient to receive data n°2 and n°3. The list of 10 data isencoded by numbers 0 to 9.

[0068] The manager 12, upon not recognizing the recipient, sends an SMS4 to the recipient's mobile telephone indicating the sender's name, therecipient's URL and possibly his login password. In the case of theexemplary recipient with number +32476233805, the URL would bewww.mobileoperator.com/32476233805.

[0069] The recipient may download the data, through his web browser, byentering the URL from any Internet terminal. The web page to which theURL points may contain links from various senders. The sender may wishto send the predefined e-mail to the recipient, without attacheddocuments. In that case, he may tap in +32476233805##.

[0070] The sender may reach multiple recipients by tapping in thefollowing identifier 2: +32476233805#+33608198216*123##.

[0071] Retrieval of Data

[0072] 1. Subscribing

[0073] On the web/portal site of his mobile operator, the subscriber mayselect a second GUI offering him the chance to put a predefined amountof information (files) at the disposal of the public. By subscribing, heis provided with a mobile phone number, which may be used from anymobile phone in order to receive the information the subscriber hasstored.

[0074] In the GUI, the subscriber may select the sending of an SMS or avocal message to any one wishing to receive the information. This isfurther explained after this.

[0075] 2. File Retrieval

[0076] This operation is triggered not by the owner of the information,but by the one wishing to receive it, i.e. the recipient. To be able todo this, the recipient calls the number attributed to the owner uponsubscription (see point 1). For example, a recipient may be presentedwith this number next to a house for sale. Calling the number willprovide him with the information (prices, description, etc.) as it wasselected by the owner. FIG. 6 shows the relevant diagram in case therecipient is registered in the database 22 and has the same operator asthe information owner.

[0077] The recipient calls the telephone number 40 which was assigned tothe owner upon subscription. This allows the manager 12 to identify theowner. The manager 12 identifies the recipient by way of his mobiletelephone number. If he calls from his mobile phone, which is thepreferred case, this identification is done by the call itself.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the manager 12 ofthe owner's mobile operator 10 then immediately responds by sending amessage 41 to the recipient's mobile phone. This message 41 can be anSMS or a vocal message depending on what the subscriber has selected. Inboth cases, the message 41 provides the recipient with a summary of theinformation. The manager detects that the recipient is in fact listed inthe database 14 and sends an e-mail 42 to the recipient's PC, with theinformation in attachment.

[0078] In all other cases (recipient registered and having anotheroperator, etc.) the SMS or vocal message is sent. After that, each caseis handled in the same way as described in the variant ‘sending ofdata’.

[0079] The subscriber may also provide the possibility for the recipientto select which data he wishes to receive. Preferably, this selectionconsists of a number of pages of a single web site, which contains thetotality of the information the owner puts at the recipient's disposal.By entering a number of digits after the number, the recipient may thenselect the data. For example, if the number made public next to a houseof sale is +32476253698 and the recipient wishes to receive page 23, heshould call +32476253698*23. Of course, the owner must provide with thenumber to call, the contents and the number associated with each page.

[0080] Using the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) the service basedon the method according to the invention is further facilitated.

[0081] Some differences arise with the above explained variants of themethod, if the subscriber or the recipient uses a WAP phone:

[0082] sending of data from a WAP phone:

[0083] The subscriber who wishes to transmit a selection of data nowcalls his mobile operator's WAP server. From a menu, he is able toselect the file transmitting service, which will enable him to enter therecipient's mobile phone number. After this, the sending of theinformation takes place in the same way as described above.

[0084] file retrieval using a WAP phone:

[0085] The person wishing to receive information calls his mobileoperator's WAP server, if his operator provides the service. If not, hefollows the relevant procedure described above for a normal phone. Ifhis operator provides the service, he can select that service from amenu and enter the telephone number assigned to the owner uponsubscription. If the subscriber owns a WAP site, the recipient isallowed direct access to this site, giving him immediately a summary ofthe complete information. If not, the procedure with the summary SMS orvocal message is pursued. In any case, the recipient receives afterwardsthe complete information in one of the ways described above (e-mail orURL), depending on whether or not he is known to the manager.

[0086] As mentioned above, a service providing use of the method of theinvention may equally be provided by anyone other than a mobile phoneoperator. In this case, the manager 12 and database 14 are associatedwith a website, owned by the provider of the service. The database wouldthen contain all information relevant to subscribers affiliated to thatparticular provider, independently from their mobile operator. Thecommunication with the manager (i.e. contacting the service, sending anSMS) would have to take place through one mobile operator, chosen by theprovider, but this would not necessarily have to be the sender's or fileowner's operator. For recipients who are not subscribers, a URL may thenbe created in the name of the provider's web site or in the name of theindependent web site 16.

[0087] Whenever the recipient is not a subscriber to the service, andhas to download the selected data from a web page (15, 17 or 19), he isprovided on said page with an inscription form to allow him to enter hise-mail address, so as to simplify the transfer later on. This means thatsuch a recipient may from that moment on receive data directly in hismailbox, in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 or 2. However, as long as hedoes not subscribe, he cannot send data himself. Naturally, in order forthe recipient to use the service himself, the recipient's mobileoperator must provide it.

[0088] The web page on which the recipient is to retrieve the selecteddata can be securitized by recording a login password, which iscommunicated to the recipient via the SMS message 4.

[0089] The independent web site 16 lists all subscribers affiliated toeach mobile operator providing the service. The information pertinent tothe subscribers of each operator is of course compartmentalized withinthe central database 22 and remains the operator's property.

[0090] The manager access is restricted so that only the subscriber cancreate, modify or distribute his data, except notification thereof.

[0091] The method of the invention provides an improvement with respectto existing services, in that it allows the sending or retrieving oflarge electronic data being initiated from any type of mobile phone. Nochange of e-mail address is required or addition of another e-mailaddress. The method is easy to use. Management of security issimplified: only the owner of the information manages its distribution;only the recipient decides upon the access to his personalized URL.

[0092] A particular advantage of the method of retrieving data accordingto the invention resides in the fact that the owner of the data canidentify the persons who have accessed his WAP site.

[0093] Various applications of the method of the invention are possible.As an example, the method can be used as an electronic way oftransmitting business cards. The contents of the sender's business cardare stored in one of the data in the database 14. By entering the code2, the card owner can command the transmittal of his card to a recipientof his choice, whether or not this recipient or his mobile operator aresubscribing to the service. In addition to his business card, the sendermay add price lists, images, information folders, etc.
